CHENILLE TRIMMINGJ SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 574,366, dated December 29, 1896i Application filed September 3, 1896. Serial No. 604,760. (No specimens.)

T0 on whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, ADOLPH LEDERER, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of New York, in the county of New York and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Chenille Trimmin gs, of which the following is a specification, reference beinghad to the accompanying drawing, forming a part thereof, in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

This invention relates to trimmings, and especially to trimmings for pillows, bolsters, and similar articles, and also to trimmings for article of furniture, such as upholstery-work of various kinds and classes, and for trimming dresses and other garments.

The drawing shows a side view of a section of my improved trimming and showing the method of constructing the same.

In the practice of my invention I provide what is known as cord-trimming, and in the drawing forming part of this specification I have shown at A a section thereof, and this cord consists of a central body portion or core B, which is composed of loosely wound or twisted cotton, wool, or similar material, and this central core B is wound or slided with what is known to the trade as uncut chenille, a cord of which is shown at O, and this chenille consists, as is well known, of separate threads or pairs of threads of cotton, wool, silk, or similar material, which are wound on a base of WlI'6,'l3WO wires being preferably employed, and in the drawing the threads of cotton, silk, or other material are shown at D and the wire threads at E.

The manner of winding the threads D on the wire threads E forms no part of this invention, and the same may be done according to any of the well-known processes, and in connection with the silk, woolen, or cotton threads employed I may also employ a gold or tinsel thread.

The base or core B may be made of any desired size, as may also the cord of chenille, and it will thus be seen that the size of the trimming-cord A maybe regulated as desired.

My improved trimming is simple in construction and comparatively inexpensive, the expense depending largely upon the material employed.

Having fully described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent I A cord for trimming consisting of a core of loosely-assembled threads having wound thereon an uncut strand of chenille, the chenille strand having a core consisting of wires, the convolutions of the strand lying side by side and in engagement, wherebya cord having astable construction and a chenille effect is produced.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my invention I have signed my name, in presence of the subscribing witnesses, this 31st day of August, 1896.

ADOLPH LEDERER.
